President Yoon Suk Yeol’s security service stopped an effort to detain him on insurrection charges and has vowed to do so again. Its roots are in the era of military dictatorships.

For weeks, impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has remained in his compound and refused to respond to detention and search warrants.

The U.S. secretary of state aimed to show that his country stood by South Korea as it grapples with a political crisis, and as Donald J. Trump returns to power.

South Korea's government said on Monday it will extend the shutdown of Muan International Airport by a week to Jan. 14, citing the ongoing investigation into the crash of a Jeju Air jet that killed 179 passengers on board.

South Korea plans to review the concrete walls positioned just beyond the end of some airport runways after an aircraft attempting an emergency landing smashed into one just over a week ago, killing almost everyone on board.

The government has little to show for the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on pro-natal policies over nearly two decades.

The South Korean consumer electronics company LG Electronics on Wednesday reported a preliminary revenue of 87.74 trillion South Korean won ($60 billion) for 2024, an increase from the previous year's 84.

South Korea’s anti-graft agency has sought to extend an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, as pressure mounted on law enforcers to resolve the country’s escalating political crisis.
